Down But Not Out

Have you ever had something in life hit you so hard that you were emotionally knocked out, and the referee had started in with the ten count? The disappointment yells at you to stay down. In your other ear, that part of you that refuses to quit screams at you over and over to get up. Have you been there? I know I have. Just about six months ago, I got some news that hit me so hard that I physically had to go lay down. All my time, effort, and money went down the drain. It looked and felt as though it was all over. How in the world can I bounce back, I asked myself? At the time no answers to the problem came to me. But still, I made the decision to get up physically and emotionally. I vowed to find away to put the pieces back together and get it done. Considering where I am now, that which appeared to be a deadly blow actually turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. But what if I would not have gotten up and put things back in motion again? I would not be experiencing the victory that I have right now.
